Chantal Guillermet

France

Chantal Guillermet is a textile artist based in southern Brittany, France. Her work is deeply inspired by her travels, particularly to the Middle East and India, as well as the landscapes surrounding her.

She has come to realize that countries we choose to visit has a resonance within us, often linked to our family history; which is why her work conveys emotion.

She creates textile tableaux using her own photographs, employing techniques such as dyeing, painting and printing to recreate atmospheres and memories. Her compositions are often figurative, capturing the essence of her experiences and surroundings.

Chantal is an active participant in international textile art groups including Fifteen by Fifteen and SAQA (Studio Art Quilt Associates) where she collaborates with fellow artists on thematic projects. She has exhibited her work both in France and abroad, during textile shows or solo exhibitions. She has taught textile art workshops in various venues sharing her knowledge with passion. Her artistic journey is also documented on her blog where she shares insights into her creative process and exhibitions.
